I see what you are trying to do. You want me to treat you like a decent human being. But you are not behaving like a decent human being.

A decent person doesn’t align themself with people who are proudly racist and who insist America doesn’t have a race problem.

7/x
A decent person doesn’t align themself with people who believe viral right-wing stories on Facebook over trained journalists, who think Q is real, who think the pandemic is fake, who think the earth is flat.

8/x
A decent person doesn’t align themself with people who faint over celebrity-child-trafficking-rings that don’t exist, but support the ICE family separations at the border that actually lead to child trafficking.

9/x
A decent person knows what it feels like to do a job and not get paid, and recognizes that Trump is first and foremost a con-man, liar, and thief.

A decent person knows and acknowledges that Trump only looks out for himself.

10/x
A decent person knows Trump raped a 13-year-old, has read her description of the rape, has read all the other accounts of Trump sexually assaulting girls and women, and never forgets Trump is a rapist who has never had to face consequences for his assaults.

I see you. Especially my fellow white women. You want to read what interesting people are reading, you want to see good movies, you want to know what the designers and artists are creating.

But you don’t want anyone to know you are voting for Trump.

12/x
You don’t like when people you follow talk politics. You say it's because you want to "focus on the positive." But really, it's because it reminds you of your Trump shame.

You want to vote for Trump and experience no negative consequences.

But that’s not an option.

One of the consequences of your actions? I do not respect you.

How could I?

How could I respect someone who hears about a Black man being shot by police 7 times in his back, while his kids watched, and their first thought is: “Well, we don’t know the whole story.”

14/x
Another consequence of your actions? I have a deep desire to withhold my community and my creations from you.

Instagram has data that could tell me exactly which of you support Trump. I wish they would give me that data. I would block every single one of you.

15/x
My Instagram followers request access to my life daily. Voting for Trump and you want to know the source for my daughter’s dress? No. You want to know the paint color we chose for the attic renovation? No. You want to participate in a parenting discussion on Design Mom? No.

16/x
I want to shun you from my community.

If gatherings were safely happening, I want you to be shunned from all events hosted by decent people. No wedding invitations. No conference tickets. No backyard barbecues.

17/x
I want decent event hosts to send you a card, explaining you are not invited because you are a Trump supporter.

I wish Ikea and Target wouldn’t let you buy their products.

I wish your internet provider (who for sure knows you vote Trump), would cut you off as a customer.

18/x
I want to see you shunned by every person and organization that doesn’t support Trump. No more access to their books, movies, products, music, events, artists & influencers — till you are left with nothing but Smashmouth concerts, and Ben Shapiro talking about his sex life.

19/x
Some of you will tell me you have no choice; that you’re a single issue voter and that your single issue is abortion, so you can only vote for an anti-abortion candidate.

And I will respond: The Republicans are making a fool of you.

20/x
We all know Republicans talk big about being anti-abortion but their policies don’t reduce abortions. Republican policies *increase* things like teen pregnancy, which also increases abortions.

The fact is: abortion numbers go down under the policies of Democrats.

21/x
If you want to reduce abortion, the most effective, proven way to do so is to vote for Democrats. If the most important issue to you is reducing abortions, then the only choice you have is voting for Democrats up and down the ballot.

22/x
Some of you will tell me you support Trump because of the stock market.

Well, that is certainly something a selfish asshole would do.

A whopping 90% of Americans have no stake in the stock market. I’m one of them.

23/x
If you want existing and newly created wealth to continue to be concentrated in the top 10%; if you don't think employers should provide a living wage; if you think hoarding a billion dollars is ethical; if you don’t want to tax the rich; then I don’t make content for you.

24/x
I create content and community for decent people. Do we agree on everything? No. We may debate how to educate kids. Or disagree on baby names, favorite books, or suburban vs urban vs country living. But I won't make space for you to debate the merits of white supremacy.

25/x
You want respect, but your behavior and beliefs are not worthy of respect.

You don’t want to be shamed or mocked for supporting Trump, but you align yourself with people who want to “make liberal snowflakes cry” and who mock anyone who wears a pandemic mask.

26/x
Do you think I care about losing you as a follower? I do not. Not one bit. I will actively block you on Instagram if I know you’re a Trump supporter. You unfollowing me doesn’t hurt me in any way. I literally—in the true sense of the word—won’t notice you are gone.

27/x
You can’t support Trump and also be a decent human being. You can’t support Trump and earn my respect.

Want to be a decent person? Don't want to worry about being shunned? You’re in luck! The solution is easy and free:

Stop being a Trump supporter. Don’t vote for Trump.
